*DATE CHANGE* Now scheduled for Saturday, April 25th! Join Architectural Historian Jim Draeger as he leads you through a suds-filled exploration of evolution and change in Wisconsin's beer and bar culture. Trace the social, cultural, and technological changes brought about by liquor regulation, brewing innovation, temperance, the 19th and 21st amendments, and our postwar, media-savvy culture. Learn more about Wisconsin taverns, their decor, culture, and the evolution of brewing from farmhouse, to factory, to craft brewery.
Jim Draeger, author, worked in the field of historic preservation and architecture at the Wisconsin Historical Society for more than 20 years, most recently as the State Historic Preservation Officer.
This program is FREE to attend and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC!
